I just had my surgery Thursday. I get my claims set to me online. I was self pay but since I had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time, I only paid $5,500 out of pocket. It looks like True Results billed aetna $17,500 for the EGD and $29,000 for the hernia repair! I don't know what to do but I can't be responsible for them battling it out, right? I paid my portion as agreed upon. I'm assuming if I owed more, TR would have billed me before the procedure? Anyone had this situation?

I have the same problem! I just posted a thread about this. Please let me know if you know something. I used True Results with United Health Care.

I was self pay and used True Results. I ended up also having a hernia repaired. BCBS sent me info saying I MAY owe xx amount but 7 months later True Results has never sent me an additional bill. I think now days insurance companies deny claims first time they are submitted. I say don't worry and don't ask until you get an actual bill. And then ask them to resubmit the claim, use the services of your insurance rep (most companies that provide employees insurance have one but don't always makes that known), and if you must set up a payment plan. And don't agree to any amount that will stress your budget. Tell me what you can pay and be firm. Make them see they'll still get their money otherwise they get none.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
